The Riverton City Council will hold its regular meeting on Wednesday, July 5 at 7:00 pm in the Council Chambers of Riverton City Hall (816 N. Federation Blvd.).
The agenda will include the introduction and oath of office of the new Director of Administrative Services, Mia Harris, who previously served as the City Finance Director.
At its regular meeting on June 20, the city council extended Mr. Harris’ contract as Director of Administrative Services, noting that the new positions would serve as ex-officio City Treasurer and ex-officio City Clerk.
Former Riverton city employee Christine Watson left her job for “new and exciting opportunities with Converse County,” city administrator Kyle Butterfield said at a June 20 conference, citing Watson’s praised its “strong” reputation.
“A lot of people respect and recognize what Christine has done,” Butterfield said. “In addition to my family, I have colleagues and friends who recognize how precious Kristin is.
“It’s been a pleasure working with Christine for the past 13 years in this city,” commented other senior staff members, including Harris.
“Kristin has always represented the city with nothing but professionalism and grace,” Harris said. “(You) need to wear some big shoes.”
